Description

Return to the American Revolution in this blistering conclusion to the middle grade Seeds of America trilogy.

As the Revolutionary War rages on, Isabel and Curzon have narrowly escaped Valley Forge—but their relief is short-lived. Before long they are reported as runaways, and the awful Bellingham is determined to track them down. With purpose and faith, Isabel and Curzon march on, fiercely determined to find Isabel’s little sister Ruth, who is enslaved in a Southern state—where bounty hunters are thick as flies.

Heroism and heartbreak pave their path, but Isabel and Curzon won’t stop until they reach Ruth, and then freedom, in this grand finale to the acclaimed New York Times bestselling trilogy from Laurie Halse Anderson.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed the reading and "book study" of Chains (forgive me for not underlining the title as I am writing this on my phone) with my 5th grade class for the last two years. After the first reading, I quickly bought and downloaded Forge and marveled at the clever way the story continued in another character's voice and from their point of view. I eagerly awaited the release of Ashes, and after a busy couple of months, have finally had the pleasure of dedicating the time to enjoy the rest of this trilogy. I read with eagerness to learn of Ruth's fate, with great interest to see how each primary document entry would be woven into this adventure and with great satisfaction at the fate of Isabel and Curzon. Huzzah! To you, the author of such a meaningful way to bring the important lives of the people of the American Revolution to light, I thank you for your dedication and hard work!
